rolls over to her side to pick up her mobile; the name flashing on the screen is her best guy friend, . "?" said in a sleepy voice, rubbing her eyes whilst holding the phone with her cheek and shoulder.
"Good morning !" replied in a cheerful tone.
"You do realise that it's..." looks at her clock, "7 in the morning?"
"Yeah but it's 4 days till Valentines Day!" says.
"Oh whoopee," replied unenthusiastically.
"Aw...I'm sure someone loves you but they're just shying away," says.
"Thanks...hey...what does that mean? Don't you love me?" interrogates.
"Huh?" says not understanding what she quite means.
"You said 'I'm sure som..." starts to reiterate the sentence but doesn't see the point, "Never mind...anyway why did you call?"
"Oh right, yeah...I was wondering if you would like to do something on Valentines Day?" asked, "You know...like we always do?"
"Yeah okay...what do you have planned?" asks.
"You know, our usual...watch films...eat ice cream...talk," says.
"Sounds like a plan to me," says, "Don't you have a date?" asks.
"Hmm...I've had a few cards but I want to hang out with you," stated.
"Aw...you're sweet...but you know you can go out instead moping around with me?" exclaims.
"I know but I don't want you to be lonely," says.
"Aw...you take pity on me...I don't like pity but you're sweet," smiles.
"Do you mind if I come over now?" asks.
"Now...can't I get a bit more sleep first?" asks, yawning to emphasise her tiredness.
"How many hours of sleep do you need ?" questions, "Pleaseeee?" He begs.
"Okay, okay...I'm up, just give me half an hour. Okay?" replies.
"HALF AN HOUR!?!" moans.
"You know me," replies.
"Okay then see you in half an hour," mumbles.
laughs, "Okay...see you...buh-bye."
Within 20 minutes was ready. She just needed the extra time to read her mail and sort out breakfast. She walked downstairs and flicked through her mail, chucking any junk mail in the bin, "Electricity bills...junk...junk...phone bills....junk...water bills...junk...junk...junk..." She scans through the mail and comes across an envelope, which is hand written to her.

The page only consisted of a date - 's birthday. looked at the letter once more and smiled, the letter was a tad confusing but at the same time sweet. She was wondering who it would be. The letter engrossed her attention once more, until...
Someone knocked on the door.
"Hey ," said greeting him with a hug.
"Hey," said. "So why are you so happy then?"
"What do you mean I'm always happy?" said.
"Well this morning you sounded like you were going to kill me for waking you up so early," replied.
"Okay well I got a letter..." started to explain.
"You?re actually reading your junk mail?" asked but then give an are-you-going-to-let-me-finish look, "Sorry...carry on."
"Okay well...read this," said giving the piece of paper.
scanned through the letter, "Oooo...someone loves you."
"Who do you think it is?" asked.
"Hmm...let's see...could it be that guy at work?" asked.
"Alan?" asked, then nodded, "No he has a girlfriend."
"How about the sales guy?" asked.
"No he's gay," stated. nodded his head and mouthed 'Oh', "I don't recognise the writing...ah well...it's probably just a joke."
Most likely," said.
"Hey," said hitting across the arm. "That was uncalled for."
just laughed.
"Anyway what do you want to do?" asked.
"I don?t just hang out," said.
"Okay well I got work first then after we'll hangout...yeah?" asked.
"Okay," replied.
After hours of tiresome work had over. "Okay so about the mystery guy or girl of course," joked.
"The cheek! Anyway I've given up...it's probably a prank anyway," said whist she collapsed onto the sofa.
"Oh come it'll be fun trying to figure out who it is," said acting like a little girl, jumping and clapping around.
"Nah...can we just leave it please...it's probably the wrong person," said wanting to drop the subject.
"...it has your name and address on the letter and envelope," stated.
"Meh," was 's reply.
had slept over. woke up and saw that spare room bed was empty. She walked downstairs smelling some burning smell.
"?" She said looking at the cooker, "!"
"Huh sorry looks like we're going out for break fast," said shrugging his shoulders apologetically.
"You think," laughed.
's phone rang. "Excuse me," said to . "Hey ...I can't today actually...I'm coming...actually why don't you come out with me and ...he's buying breakfast.." turned to and gave him a cheeky smile; rolled his eyes, "Yeah okay...see you in a bit then...bye!"

"Nice to see you ... ," She smiled at them both.
waved.
"So are you going to tell me about this love letter?" asked.
looked at with a scolding look, "!"
"What?" shrugged innocently.
"Well?" insisted that talk about it.
"It's nothing," said.
was still pestering about the letter but she still denied any attraction someone may have for her. Then she picked a letter off the floor, "What's this?"
"None of your business. Don't be so nosey," said getting slightly annoyed from the previous questioning.
"Open it," said passing the letter.
"Fine," replied. She opened the envelope and the letter had the same writing as the one from the 'admirer' yesterday.
Dear ,
You might not know who I am but there's something I want to tell you but I don't know how to...I want the moment to be perfect and say it to you the right way.
Sincerely Me x
read the letter from behind 's shoulder, "Now do you believe, you have an admirer?"
"No," said bluntly.
"! You're in denial," said getting frustrated that wasn't getting the signal.
"Okay...okay...maybe. I have to admit though, it is nice," said putting the letter in the draw.
"Finally...gosh...you're a hard woman to persuade," said. "Do you know who 'he' could be," she asked.
"I don't know," said trying to hide her smile but to no avail. "Anyway...come on let's watch something." said trying to change the subject.
During the night the three of them played random games. They drank only coke but it seemed to make them high. After a few hours they collapsed asleep on the floor.
woke up; she looked and found her, and sleeping on the floor in a scattered state. She laughed to herself quietly, not wanting to wake the other two up. woke up when he smelt food. He walked into the kitchen whilst attempting to straighten out his hair.
"Morning . Is still asleep?" She asked whilst cooking.
walked in, "I'm up."
"Ahh," joked when he saw the state of 's hair.
"Shut up," warned with a stern don't-mess-with-me morning look.
"So what are you guys going to do today?" asked.
The question was interrupted by the letter box pinging.
ran out of the kitchen, "I'll get it!"
"Don't you dare," replied also running for the letters.
took over the cooking but was only moving the food around the pan because he wasn't quite sure what to do with the food. almost got to the letters when rugby tackled her.
"Ow! I can't believe you rugby tackled me," said picking herself up.
"Ha, serves you right for being nosey," laughed. She walked back into the kitchen, "Sorry about that ...I'll take over now."
walked to the table chatting to . After 5 minutes breakfast was ready. asked, "So did you get another letter?"
"I don't know...I was too busy cooking," replied.
"Check now," suggested.
"K...nope...nope...nope...a...nope..." went through the letters but didn't have what she was looking for.
smiled, "Is this the one you're looking for?" said waving the letter about laughing and proud of her craftiness. "Here you go."
took the letter giving a deadly look, she smiled at the letter.
Dear ,
A card to represent my heart, a white rose carrying my affection. Hoping tomorrow you'll see...
Sincerely Me x
"What does it say? What does it say?" asked excitedly. passed her the letter. eyes were moving along as she read each word, "'Hoping tomorrow you'll see' what?..." She asked confused, "What card? What rose?" questioned.
"Well maybe its coming tomorrow?" suggested.
"Oh right that might explain the 'Hoping tomorrow you'll see' part," said.
decided to stay out of any conversation to do with boys because he preferred to talk about girls but unfortunately there were no guys there.
"Anyway I got work now. Don't forget to lock the door and put the alarm on unless you're staying then...make yourself at home," said giving and a hug.
said, "I better go?I've got practise."
"Me too," said.
"See you" they all said simultaneously and walked their separate ways.
was tired because she had to deal with awkward customers so she decided to have an early nights sleep.
Valentines day, ugh. woke up but she felt different, she was actually happy that it was Valentines Day. She got ready as was coming over. She walked downstairs looking at her mail, with the biggest smile on her face. Sadly that smile was short lived when there was no letter from the 'admirer'.
A knock came on the door, a small smile appeared. opened the door hopeful that it could be the 'admirer', it was .
"What's wrong ?" asked.
"There wasn't letter from..." started saying.
"Your secret admirer?" said.
"I was kidding myself...I actually believed there was someone out there for me...I feel like an idiot," mumbled in a sad tone.
"Aw...don't worry maybe it'll come later," insisted.
"So what so you want to do?" asked , changing the subject immediately.
Through out the day they were doing some very random things and having fun. managed to take 's mind off the mystery man.
"Hey I booked us for dinner...is that okay?" asked.
"Yeah...great," said cheerfully, "Where is it?"
"You'll have to wait and see," suggested.
was getting changed ready to go to dinner.
"Okay I'll be back in a bit...I need to change. See you later," shouted to .
"Okay...later ," said as she heard the door close.
Someone knocked on the door.
Must be though straightening her dress. As she walked to open the door she checked herself in the mirror. "Hey ," said as she opened the door. Her jaw dropped.
stood their in a suit holding a card and a white rose.
"?" said still in shock.
gave the gifts and smiled "Sincerely Me."
